PAGE EIGHT Senior Class News 9Y MARGARET PARRISH What’s in view this week? Well, let’s take a look into the future. As far as can be seen ahead, there’s a trip being planned in the Senior Class. The destination? Raleigh, of course. The legislature will be in action and the Class of ’53 will be watching. All of this » planned for January 28,1953, which will be after all of the exams are passed. Work on the annual is in full swing now. Everybody’s collecting pictures to be used and getting their money in order to purchase one of the best annuals ever to be published at E.H.S. The girl up for discussion this week is Marian Jeanette Goodwin, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wallace Good win, Route 1, Edenton, where Mr. Goodwin is a farmer. Marian was born in Chowan County on October 30, 1934. Marian was voted by her fellow classmates as Best All Around. To back up this statement, here are some of the altivities in which she partici pates. She is a member of the Girls’ Monogram Club and has held this hon or for four years. She is Treasurer of the FHA Chapter, and is serving her fourth year as member of that. Marian has played basketball four ■years, and was in the High School Band for three years. Marian was also voted as best dressed girl of the Class of ’53. She likes to eat, dance, attend movies, and date. It was discovered that most of her dating time was absorbed by a certain Rocky Hock lad. lAit present, Marian is employed by Cuthrell’s Department Store. 'After graduation, she hopes to attend East Carolina College where she will take up commercial courses. She plans to go into secretarial work. Marian is a member of the Edenton Baptist Church. She is active in her YJWJA., of which she is Treasurer, ft looks as if Marian has had a busy life and will certainly make the mostj out of the coming years. Frank Gray Halsey, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Halsey, Sr., was bom on November 11, 1933. 'Frank was born in Chotvan County, and, at prestnt, lives on Route 3. Mr. Halsey is em ployed by the Edenton Electric and Water Department. Frank tells us that his hobby is girls. However, it was discovered that there’s really only one on his list. If he has time for more after all those hours with Jean, more luck to him, but usually it’s Jean you see him with. 'Frank is a member of the Stagecraft j Club. In fact, he is Treasurer. He' is also a bus driver. Frank says he likes everything including music, par ties, movies and attending basketball games. Evidently, he likes mysterious nicknames too. His, by the way, hap pens to be “W. D.” and he won’t tell a soul how it came about. Frank is a member of the Macedonia Baptist Church. His plans for the •future are incomplete. However, he is now employed at the Halsey Feed & Seed Store. Best of luck, Frank, in making your decision for that lifelong occupation. The search for truth is the high est form of human endeavor.

THURSDAY JANUARY 15,1953. ‘Electric Eyes’ Teach Gunnery To AA Men Training Device Saves Millions of Dollars For Taxpayers The Army has taken a cue from amusement park owners to save the 'taxpayers more than $10,000,000 (M) 'a year. I The Anti-Aircraft Artillery Replace ment Training Center at Fort Bliss, ■ Texas, is using two electronic devices —something like Hie gun-target ma chines in your favorite amusement 'park—to teach soldiers correct aim ling and firing techniques before actually fire live ammunition on tne I range. The devices are automatic weapons j tr&inecg—equipped with .50-caliber i and 40-millimeter guns—which fire | an estimated average of 2,344,790 (M) rounds of “ammunition” each month. The cost of that live ammunition 'would be about $835,014. The usual monthly cost for the electrical operation of the automatic weapons trainers is S4O, so use of the trainers saves the taxpayer $834,974 per month —or $10,019,088 (M) a year. In the .50-caliber machinegun train er, an airplane target is shown on the screen with motion picture projectors. The trainee, wearing special glass es, sees the target in a third-dimen sional effect —with a perception of distance —just as he would if he were firing live ammunition at actual tar gets. The trainee “fires” at the target with the .50-caliber machinegun. Tracers projected on the screen show the lines of fire and the gunner is able to see how close he came to the target. Recorded sound effects give all the noises of actual firing along with the roar of the airplane engines. The system for the 40-millimeter gun is similar except that a dual pro jection system is used. A small white dot appears to show the trainee where his gun is pointing in relation to the target. During later phases of training, the dot is made invisible and the gun ner must rely solely on the gun sight' and his own ability to keep on the tar get. ' An electronic device records the number of rounds fired. The trainers develop skilled gun-, ners in record time with a minimum ' expenditure of ammunition and mil-i lions saved for the taxpayer.
